- AlxGa1-xN/AlN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) structures were grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on pseudo AlN substrates using nitrogen as a carrier gas. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and reciprocal space mapping (RSM) indicated no sign of strain relaxation in the quantum wells with respect to the AlN substrate. The MQW parameters such as thicknesses, growth rates and material compositions were extracted from XRD measurements and demonstrated an agreement with our growth conditions. No indication of parasitic reactions between ammonia and trimethyl-aluminium (TMAI) was detected in our growth process. Optical measurements revealed well-defined photoluminescence peaks at 288 and 280 nm, which are in a good agreement with the transmission experimental data. The piezoelectric field value in the Studied structures was estimated to be 900kV/cm.

- The materials quality and availability of large-area bulk GaN substrates is currently considered a key problem for the continuing development of improved GaN-based devices. Since industrial fabrication of bulk GaN substrates with suitable materials quality has proven very difficult, the opto-GaN industry is currently based on heteroepitaxy using either c-sapphire or 6H SiC substrates. ZnO is promising as a substrate material for GaN because it has the same wurtzite structure and a relatively small lattice mismatch (similar to 1.8%). In this study, we have successfully grown GaN by MOVPE on ZnO-buffered c-sapphire. The growth conditions required to both prevent ZnO degradation and grow monocrystal thin film of GaN have been obtained. SEM, HRXRD and micro-Raman characterizations underlined the presence of the two layers GaN and ZnO with high structural quality.

- The development of wide band gap semiconductors extends their applications in optoelectronics devices to the UV domain. Compact lasers and high sensitivity APD detectors in UV range are currently needed for different applications such as, purification, covert communication and real time detection of airborne pathogens. Until now, the full exploitation of these potential materials has been limited by the lack of suitable GaN substrates. Recently, a novel class of materials has been reported based on BGaN and BAlN, potentially reducing the crystal defect densities by orders of magnitude compared to existing wide band gap heterostructures. Characteristics of these new alloys are similar to those of AlGaN materials with the advantage that these can be lattice matched to AlN and SiC substrates. In addition, these materials offer the possibility of using quaternary BAlGaN alloys at Ultra Violet (UV) wavelengths and hence lead to more degrees of freedom in designing sophisticated device structures. In this paper we describe the MOVPE growth conditions used to incorporate boron in GaN and AlGaN. Detailed characterization and analysis in terms of structural and electrical properties are discussed.
